𝐏𝐇 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐂𝐇 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐏𝐋𝐘 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐅𝐓𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐀 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃

From 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. The Philippines’ recent administration under the leadership of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has taken a firmer stance on the 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚, emphasizing the 2016 arbitral ruling, international law and the defense of Philippine territory. His leadership 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 and warned of consequences for attacks on 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐬 patrolling in the West Philippine Sea.

President Marcos has also said that the deliberate killing of a Filipino would be “very, very close” to an act of war, contrasting with the previous administration’s dismissal of the arbitral ruling as “papel lang.” 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 “𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠” to “𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝”. This clearly shows that defeatism mindset is not and will never be for Filipinos.
